The gift thst keeps on giving :)
I opted out about the time they were releasing their second gen hub, so it's been a while now. I'm on my second iteration of HA hardware (rpi5) now. Still have old iris window sensors I bought way back when I had ST. (From lowes). Their biggest issue is the battery life on them kinda sucks.
I will miss the water sensors though. Those plus IFTTT were so good at alerting us and shutting off the water. Any suggestions for replacing those? I use HA currently
Idk about the shut off but I liked the third reality sensors
IKEA ones
I am not using any water sensors, so can't speak to that
